Hit: 5 Stars
Anyone who's heard "Ghosts Of Loss" or the magnificent "The Morning Never Came" should be perfectly familiar with Swallow The Sun's sound by now: dark, depressive, doom metal with some melody. "Hope" sees the band expanding on their palette with faster songs (well, for a doom band) and a greater emphasis on clean vocals.
For the most part, "Hope" is excellent. From opening title track to the final wretched notes of "Doomed To Walk The Earth", "Hope" takes you to a place where you feel, well, hopeless. The songs are absolutely drenched in atmosphere with ominous yet beautiful guitar riffs (check out the opening riff on the title track), alternating brutal death growls and clean vocals, and subtle use of keyboards. "The Justice Of Suffering" even features a stunning chorus sung by Jonas Renske of Katatonia.
While I wouldn't say it's as good as "The Morning Never Came", "Hope" is still a phenomenal album. It's more accessible than their previous works, yet it doesn't sacrifice Swallow The Sun's core sound. If you're a fan of doom metal or just metal in general, you owe it to yourself to check this out.
